3/31/17: Presideng Trump signs an executive order regarding the omnibus report on significant trade deficits. The order directs the Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative to compile a report on trade practices that contribute to the trade deficit. The report will look at each of America's trade partners and assess whether the country's trade practices unfairly discriminate against the U.S.

​6/1/17: President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement citing he was elected to represent "the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris' and stating "This agreement is less about the climate and more about other countries gaining a financial advantage over the United States.". We believe this was the right decision based on the following facts.1: Trump kept another campaign promise by abiding by his "America First" mantra2: U.S. would begin negotiations to re-enter either the Paris accord or a new treaty on terms that are better for American businesses and taxpayers.

3: When President Obama joined the Paris Accord he never sent the agreement to the Senate for ratification. There was good reason for that: it wouldn’t have been ratified.4: The agreement called for America to reduce emissions and pay $3 billion a year to countries like China and India who were not required to reduce their emissions until 2030.4: The agreement, although would ultimately cost America trillions of dollars, would have essentially no impact – postponing warming by less than four years by 2100 and by a grand total of just three tenths of one degree (0.023 degrees Fahrenheit).5: The Paris agreement would potentially stop the creation of new American jobs. The caps asked America to cut it's energy industry, which would result in a loss of energy jobs.

6: Minutes after Trump pulled out of the agreement, local mayors and businesses around the country stated they would continue to work to cut emissions. Which raised the question "Then why would the federal government need to be in the Paris Climate Agreement"

7: The trillions of dollars spent on an international agreement that would have near zero results would be much better spent on fighting diseases, American infrastructure and grants to local governments who push greener living.

7/10/17: President Donald Trump celebrated America's latest sugar deal, calling it "a very good one for both the U.S. and Mexico." The agreement reduces the amount of refined sugar Mexico can export to the U.S. and sets a new minimum price that Mexican sugar can be sold for. The American Sugar Alliance, a coalition of U.S. sugar producers. had previously accused Mexico of predatory trade practices and thanked Trump for "supporting sugar farmers and defending jobs."​

7/12/14: After 14 years, U.S. beef hit the Chinese market. The new trade deal was dubbed an 'exciting opportunity' for agriculture​. It has been the first shipments of U.S. beef to China since 2003 after officials sealed a long-sought trade deal this month.

​8/23/17: Keeping true to one of his top campaign promises, Trump signed an executive order to explore trade investigation of China.

10/6/17: After months of President Trump scolding NATO allies for not spending enough on defense, NATO has reached an agreement to increase allied funding for counterterrorism programs. Under the deal NATO will spend an additional $12 million to $24 million on counterterrorism in 2018.

11/10/17: While on his Asian tour (longest Asian trip by a U.S. President since 1992) Trump said in his Vietnam speech the U.S. "will not tolerate" trade abuses and lashed out at "unfair practices." Trump said he did not blame countries for "taking advantage" of the U.S. in trade deals, for that is their job, but he said it will no longer happen. He said the U.S. "did not do their job, but I will."
